iQOO has officially launched the Z11 Turbo in China, marking the latest addition to its performance-oriented Z-series. The device introduces a high-capacity 7,600mAh battery and a 200MP primary camera, positioning it as a competitor in the upper-midrange segment.
The smartphone follows the Z10 Turbo and features significant upgrades in processing power and display technology. It is currently available in the Chinese market with four colour options: Midnight Black, Skylight White, Floating Light (Blue), and Halo Pink.
iQOO Z11 Turbo: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and Gaming Hardware
The iQOO Z11 Turbo is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, built on a 3nm process. The octa-core processor includes two performance cores clocked at 3.8GHz and six efficiency cores at 3.32GHz.
To support sustained performance, the device integrates iQOO’s proprietary Q2 e-sports chip. This dedicated hardware handles frame interpolation and gaming-specific optimizations. Cooling is managed by an “Ice Dome” dual-mesh vapor chamber system designed to reduce core temperatures by up to 15°C.
Memory configurations range from 12GB to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM. Internal storage options include 256GB, 512GB, and a top-tier 1TB variant using UFS 4.1 technology.
1.5K AMOLED Display Specifications
The front of the device features a 6.59-inch LTPS AMOLED flat display with a 1.5K resolution (1260 x 2750 pixels). The panel supports a 144Hz refresh rate and a 3,200Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate for improved input latency.
For outdoor visibility, the screen reaches a local peak brightness of 5,000 nits. It also includes 4,320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming to reduce eye strain at lower brightness levels. The display is protected by a layer of Schott Shield reinforced glass.
200MP Camera System and Optics
The Z11 Turbo is the first in the Z-series to feature a 200MP primary sensor (Samsung HP5). The f/1.88 aperture lens is supported by Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and offers 4x lossless digital zoom.
The secondary rear camera is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens with an f/2.2 aperture. On the front, a 32MP punch-hole camera handles selfies and video calls, supporting video recording up to 4K resolution.
7,600mAh Battery and Build Durability
A central feature of the hardware is the 7,600mAh “Blue Ocean” battery. It utilizes second-generation semi-solid-state technology, which maintains chemical activity in extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to 40°C.
The device supports 100W wired flash charging. It also includes “Direct-Drive Power Supply 2.0,” allowing the phone to draw power directly from the charger during intensive tasks to bypass the battery and reduce heat accumulation.
Despite the large battery, the phone maintains a profile of 7.9mm and weighs approximately 202 grams. It is rated IP68 and IP69 for dust and water resistance, protecting against both immersion and high-pressure water jets.
iQOO Z11 Turbo Pricing and Connectivity
The iQOO Z11 Turbo runs on OriginOS 6 based on Android 16. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, an infrared blaster, and a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.
In China, the pricing is structured as follows:
